Down By The River

À Beira do Rio

Down By The River

A vida na cidade tava nos derrubandoCity life was gettin' us down
Então passamos o fim de semana fora da cidadeSo we spent the weekend out of town
Armamos a barraca em um pedaço de chãoPitched the tent on the patch of ground
À beira do rioDown by the river

Acendemos uma fogueira e bebemos vinhoLit a fire and drank some wine
Você colocou seu jeans em cima do meuYou put your jeans on the top of mine
Disse, vem, a água tá boaSaid, come in the water's fine
À beira do rioDown by the river

À beira do rioDown by the river
À beira do rioDown by the river
Disse, vem, a água tá boaSaid, come in the water's fine
À beira do rioDown by the river

Não me senti muito bem a noite todaDidn't feel too good all night
Então fizemos uma caminhada na luz da manhãSo we took a walk in the morning light
Nos deparamos com a visão mais estranhaCame across the strangest sight
À beira do rioDown by the river

Peixes prateados deitados de ladoSilver fish lay on its side
Foram levados pela maré da manhãIt was washed up by the early tide
Me pergunto como eles morreramI wonder how it died
À beira do rioDown by the river

À beira do rioDown by the river
À beira do rioDown by the river
Peixes prateados deitados de ladoSilver fish lay on its side
À beira do rioDown by the river

O médico nos mandou pra camaDoctor put us both to bed
Ele nos medicou e balançou a cabeçaHe dosed us up and he shook his head
Só pessoas tolas vão, ele disseOnly foolish people go, he said
À beira do rioDown by the river

Por que os salgueiros choram, ele disseWhy do willows weep, said he
Porque estão morrendo aos poucosBecause they're dying gradually
Por causa do lixo, das fábricasFrom the waste, from the factories
À beira do rioDown by the river

À beira do rioDown by the river
À beira do rioDown by the river
Por que os salgueiros choram, ele disseWhy do willows weep, said he
À beira do rioDown by the river

Com o tempo, as margens do rio vão morrerIn time, the river banks will die
As juncos vão murchar e os patos não vão voarThe reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly
Vai ter uma lágrima no olho da lontraThere'll be a tear in the otter's eye
À beira do rioDown by the river

As margens logo estarão pretas e mortasThe banks will soon be black and dead
E onde a lontra levantou a cabeçaAnd where the otter raised his head
Vai ter uma pedra branca limpa no lugarWill be a clean white stone instead
À beira do rioDown by the river

À beira do rioDown by the river
À beira do rioDown by the river
Vai ter uma pedra branca limpa no lugarWill be a clean white stone instead
À beira do rioDown by the river
